Beautiful honey gold, deep amber with yellow highlights. Pours with a small head, good lacing.

Nose and taste of piney hops, resin, followed in perfect balance with a deep caramel, bready-toast maltiness and finishes dry and satisfies deep.

Heavy mouthfeel with a silky feel, too much abv for a session beer but an easy drinker that will be dangerous for some. Get a growler of this beauty if you can.

Pours a ruby color with a creamy white head.

Scent of sugar, sweet fruit, bubble gum, butter, and bready malts. The sweetness is a bit overpowering, but the malts balance it out well enough to make it savory.

Taste of bready malts, sugars, fruit, and bubble gum. Again, savory, but a bit more sweet than the scent. Better than I recall the 20th Anniversary being.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a bit of carbonation.
